Human Right Policy


Respect for human rights is a fundamental value and an integral part of any corporate culture.
Human rights are respected and therefore the company is committed to supporting the
protection of these through its Human Rights Policy, of which the foundation is the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations (UNO), based on the Geneva
Declaration on Human Rights at Sea. All business activities are guided by the articles of
UNO.

The company conducts its business in a responsible way by respecting the human rights of its
employees both ashore and onboard as well as of its clients and other contacts.

The protection of human rights rests on the following four principals, which the company abides
by:

1. Human rights are universal. They apply at sea, as they do ashore


2. All persons at sea, without any distinction, have human rights and there is no maritime
specific reasons, for denying any person its fundamental human rights
3. All human rights established under both treaty and customary International Law must be
respected.
4. No seafarer is paying any placement fee for his/her engagement onboard any company
vessel

DIVERSITY & EQUALITY

Integrity and mutual respect are important values to the Company which aims to create equal
opportunities for all employees, both ashore and onboard and regardless of personal
background, race, social class or background, gender, citizenship status, marital status, age,
physical or health condition, sexual orientation, religion, political opinion, or any other personal
characteristic or status protected by law.

The company strongly believes that a working environment which is characterized by equal
opportunities and inclusion, is vital for sustaining the satisfaction of its employees as well as its
acceptance and recognition as a responsible service provider by its clients or others. The
Company will treat all individuals equal considering the responsibilities and duties of their
position during their recruitment, compensation, benefits, training, promotion, rotation, or
termination.

Where the company identifies that it may have unintentionally caused or contributed to adverse
impacts on the human rights of others, it will ensure to provide the support or cooperate with
others, in the immediate remediation of the adverse impacts through legitimate processes
intended to deliver effective remedy while not preventing access to other forms of remedy if
justified. This may include cooperating in good faith in the provision of remedy through state-led
mechanisms. Where adverse impacts are directly linked to company activities through its
business relationships, the company will support its business partners in the remediation of
those impacts through their own grievance management processes, or support collaboration to
provide for non-judicial remediation through third parties
